Yesaia 3
1 Afei hwɛ, Awurade, Asafo Awurade, rebɛgyae deɛ ɔde ma wɔ Yerusalem ne Yuda nyinaa: aduane ne nsuo a ɔde ma wɔn nyinaa.
Ngoba khangela, iNkosi, uJehova wamabandla, izasusa eJerusalema lakoJuda insika lodondolo, insika yonke yesinkwa, lensika yonke yamanzi,
2 Nnɔmmarima ne akofoɔ, ɔtemmufoɔ ne odiyifoɔ, nkɔmhyɛni ne ɔpanin,
iqhawe, lendoda yempi, umahluleli, lomprofethi, lomvumisi, lomdala,
3 aduonum so panin ne deɛ ɔwɔ diberɛ, ɔfotufoɔ, odwumfoɔ nyansafoɔ ne nkaberɛkyerefoɔ oniferefoɔ.
induna yamatshumi amahlanu, lowemukelekayo ngobuso, lomeluleki, lombazi ohlakaniphileyo, lowazi amalumbo.
4 “Mede mmerantewaa bɛyɛ wɔn nnwuma so mpanimfoɔ; na mmɔfra adi wɔn so.”
Ngizabanika abafana babe yiziphathamandla zabo, lezihluku zizabusa phezu kwabo.
5 Nnipa bɛhyɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho so, ɔbarima bɛtia ɔbarima, ɔyɔnko bɛtia ne yɔnko. Mmabunu bɛsɔre atia wɔn mpanimfoɔ, apapahwekwaa bɛtia onimuonyamfoɔ.
Labantu bazacindezelwa, omunye komunye, njalo ngulowo lalowo kumakhelwane wakhe; ijaha lizadelela omdala, lodelelekayo ohloniphekayo.
6 Ɔbarima bɛsɔ ne nuanom baako mu wɔ nʼagya efie aka sɛ, “Wowɔ atadeɛ, bɛyɛ yɛn dikanfoɔ; wɔ kuro a adane mmubuiɛ sie yi so.”
Lapho umuntu ezabamba umfowabo wendlu kayise athi: Wena ulesembatho, woba ngumbusi wethu, lokhukuchithakala kube ngaphansi kwesandla sakho;
7 Nanso, ɛda no ɔbɛteam sɛ, “Menni deɛ mede bɛyɛ. Menni aduane anaa ntoma wɔ me fie; mfa me nyɛ nnipa no so dikanfoɔ.”
uzaphakamisa ngalolosuku athi: Kangiyikuba ngumelaphi, ngoba endlini yami kakulakudla kakulasembatho; lingangimisi ngibe ngumbusi wabantu.
8 Yerusalem retɔ ntintan, Yuda rehwe ase; wɔn nsɛm ne nneyɛeɛ tia Awurade. Wɔmmu nʼanimuonyam a ɛwɔ wɔn mu.
Ngoba iJerusalema ikhubekile, loJuda uwile, ngoba ulimi lwabo lezenzo zabo kumelene leNkosi, ukuvukela amehlo obukhosi bayo.
9 Sɛdeɛ wɔn anim teɛ no di adanseɛ tia wɔn; wɔda wɔn bɔne adi te sɛ Sodom; wɔmmfa nsie. Nnome nka wɔn! Wɔakɔfa amanehunu aba wɔn ho so.
Ukukhangeleka kobuso babo kuyafakaza ngabo; bememezela izono zabo njengeSodoma, kabazifihli. Maye kumphefumulo wabo! Ngoba bazenzela okubi.
10 Ka kyerɛ teneneefoɔ sɛ ɛbɛsi wɔn yie, ɛfiri sɛ wɔbɛdi wɔn nneyɛeɛ so aba.
Tshelani olungileyo ukuthi kuzakuba kuhle kuye; ngoba bazakudla isithelo sezenzo zabo.
11 Nnome nka amumuyɛfoɔ! Amanehunu wɔ wɔn so! Wɔbɛtua wɔn so ka wɔ deɛ wɔn nsa ayɛ no ho.
Maye kokhohlakeleyo! Kuzakuba kubi kuye; ngoba umvuzo wezandla zakhe uzakwenziwa kuye.
12 Mmabunu hyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ so, mmaa di wɔn so. Ao me nkurɔfoɔ, mo akwankyerɛfoɔ ma mo yera; wɔma mo mane firi kwantempɔn no so.
Abantu bami, abacindezeli babo ngabantwana, labesifazana bayababusa. Bantu bami, abakhokheli benu ngabaduhisi, basanganisa indlela yemikhondo yenu.
13 Awurade tena ase wɔ nʼasɛnniiɛ. Ɔma ne mu so bu nkurɔfoɔ no atɛn.
INkosi izimisele ukuphikisana, imi ukuthi yahlulele abantu.
14 Awurade bu atɛn de tia ne nkurɔfoɔ mpanimfoɔ ne akannifoɔ sɛ, “Mo na moasɛe me bobe turo; apoobɔdeɛ a ɛfiri ahiafoɔ nkyɛn wɔ mo afie mu.
INkosi ingena kusahlulelo labadala babantu bayo leziphathamandla zayo; ngoba lina lidle isivini; impango yomyanga isezindlini zenu.
15 Aseɛ ne sɛn enti na modwɛre me nkurɔfoɔ na mode ahiafoɔ anim twitwiri fam?” Sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie.
Lina libachobozelani abantu bami, lichola ubuso babayanga? itsho iNkosi uJehova wamabandla.
16 Awurade kasa sɛ, “Sion mmammaa yɛ ahantan; wɔnante toto wɔn kɔn, wɔdeda wɔn ani akyi, wɔtutu wɔn anammɔn ntiawa ntiawa, na wɔn nan ase nkawa gyegye.
INkosi yasisithi: Ngenxa yokuthi amadodakazi eZiyoni eziphakamisile, ehamba elule intamo, ehuga ngamehlo, ehamba ngokuqoqomela ehamba, ekhencezisa izigqizo enyaweni zawo,
17 Enti Awurade bɛma tikuro abɛgu Sion mmaa tiri ho. Awurade bɛma wɔn tiri so apa.”
ngakho iNkosi izakwenza inkanda yamadodakazi eZiyoni ibe loqweqwe, leNkosi izanqunula izitho zawo zangasese.
18 Ɛda no Awurade bɛyiyi wɔn afɛfɛdeɛ: nkawa, ntomaban ne kɔnmuadeɛ,
Ngalolosuku iNkosi izasusa ubuhle bezigqizo zawo, lezicwatsho, lamasongo anjengenyanga,
19 nsomuadeɛ, nkapo ne nkatanimu,
amacici, lamasongo, lezimbombozo,
20 Wɔn mmɔtire, ananse ntweaban, abɔwomu, nnuhwam ntoa ne nkaberɛ,
amaqhiye, lezigetsho, lamabhanti, lemifuma, lezintebe,
21 ntimsoɔ mpɛtea ne hwenemu nkawa,
izindandatho, lamacici amakhala,
22 ntadetenten pa, ngugusoɔ tiawa a ɛnni nsa, ntadeɛ yuu ne sika nkotokuo;
izigqoko zemikhosi, lamajazi, lezembatho, lezamba,
23 nhwehwɛ, serekye ntadeɛ, tirinwi so nkawa ne abatiri so ngugusoɔ.
lezibuko, lezigqoko zelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu, lamaqhele, lamaveyili.
24 Nkabɔne bɛsi deɛ ɛyɛ hwam anan mu; ntampehoma bɛsi nkatakɔnmu anan mu; tire a ɛso apa bɛsi tirinwi a wɔasiesie anan mu; ayitoma bɛsi ntoma pa anan mu; honam ani atwaatwa bɛsi ahoɔfɛ anan mu.
Kuzakuthi-ke endaweni yamakha kube levumba, lendaweni yebhanti kube khona igoda, lendaweni yenwele ezilungiswe kuhle kube khona impabanga, lendaweni yesigqoko esihle kube khona isaka, ukutsha endaweni yobuhle.
25 Wo mmarima bɛtotɔ akofena ano, wʼakofoɔ bɛtotɔ wɔ ɔko mu.
Amadoda akho azakuwa ngenkemba, lamaqhawe akho empini.
26 Sion apono bɛtwa adwo, adi awerɛhoɔ; na deɛ ɔnnibie bɛtena fam asu.
Lamasango ayo azakhala alile; yenziwe ize izahlala emhlabathini.
